What,no Aaron Miles pinch hitting?

[genbar]

Do not like.

[NotSoSober]

lol @ Manny. I'm shocked Dodger fans even boo him.

 

Fukudome!

[illiniguy]

Holy crap that's a lead.

[E.J.]

Foxy.

[Magdal]

Good job!

[Cubfanintheknow]

Two runs scored in one inning. This is what passes for an "offensive explosion" these days!

[Keener98]

Foxy.

 

 

Good thing we have been running Soriano out there repeatedly huh.

[illiniguy]

Wow we almost turned that.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Foxy.

Yep. Fox needs to be out there everyday for a couple reasons. First of all, he gives us much more consistent offensive performance than Soriano and a better chane to win this year. More importantly, we really need to see him play for a long stretch to get a better idea of what we can count on him for next season. It's pointless to continue to run Soriano out there hoping that he gets hot.

[Andy]

Wow we almost turned that.

Thought they had at first glance, but Furcal did just beat it.

Good god at Smoltzs' line w/ his first game as a Card, Padres or not. Is it too late for this guy to win comeback player of the year?

Yeah, I would say Carpenter has that one locked up.

Or Ryan Franklin. Maybe Trever Miller.

 

(It is obviously Carp, but those two are posting ludicrous lines as well, not that it's really surprising to anybody.)

Nice afternoon for Dempster. Maybe the pen won't blow it.

Thos two pitched last year though. Carpenter has been amazing after really missing two years. It would be like Mark Prior becoming '03 Mark Prior again next year.

I would go ahead and not mention that possibility until we're entirely sure that the Cardinals are NOT going to pick him up.

Eh, I like Mark. If they have to have somebody go crazy, I almost wouldn't mind it being him.

[E.J.]

Come on Aram. Stupid.

 

Great game for Fox today.

[RedFlash]

Holy crap, ARam. WTF are you thinking?

[Monco]

Manny

[illiniguy]

Of course we had our best game as an offense against Billingsley.

[illiniguy]

Jeff Baker?

[chuckywang]

Maybe Fontenot can channel his inner Bruntlett and turn an unassisted triple play.
